Hozier - But the Wages [Lyrics]

[@GCiambrone]

God my soul needs a studio recording of this

Hozier is the opposite of a catfish. Usually idols fall from grace the more they reveal themselves but with Hozier it's an ever building crescendo of pleasant surprises. i honestly am anticipating this build up to end with the revelation that Hozier is the supreme lord of the universe, because i see no other logical conclusion.

[@eggwhites5539]

I've never related to something more

[@keiseegee]

i agrée with the crescendo of surprises but i think.. the best part about hozier is that he *is* a real person.

[@emilywalker2843]

Three years later, and this is still accurate

[@magdalena1752]

Okay, not to idealize, but if Hozier was the supreme lord of the universe the universe would be a hell of a lot better

[@OO_sunflower_OO]

Opposite “the weekend” lol

[@lindseyp6032]

This song feels more relevant than ever in 2024. Boeing, screams of the dying, murdered reporters and skies over yemen. Damn.

[@bibouche8831]

Yup 😭

[@tictac4063]

Right

[@tabithapoppe8150]

I had to look at the year

[@caelanbirch9407]

I've been a Hozier fan for 6 years now so..... HOW IS THE FIRST TIME MY EARS HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY THIS MASTERPIECE???

[@annehannigan4884]

Iv never heard it either.

[@BCre8iv321]

It’s a song he wrote DURING his Wasteland Baby tour, so it’s only been around for a little over 2 years, think, so if you didn’t get tickets to his tour in 2019, you might not have even known it existed

[@nono8528]

nothing like listening to this song after a full day of being paid starving min wage

[@basilganglia5744]

rip sorry to hear about that :( I hope you're happy and surrounded by good friends

[@jazhandsasmr]

Every year that passes, the message of this song is more profound and damning than before. So many people think of Hozier as some sort of "cottagecore bog man" guy, but this is who he is. He's such strong political messages in his work, he said in a recent interview that there is a time for fun love songs and there is a time to think about the messages being putting into your work. I cannot wait for the new full album because he will blow us away with commetary such as this I'm certain!

[@snrkybrd]

you really called it man

[@shubhimishra5265]

Can't stop hearing "it's all going up but the wages and 'baby' it's time"

[@antisocialbutterfly8940]

This song gets more and more relevant. Listening in 2023

[@feathersoffancy8988]

This song exists as a monument to my being radicalized over quarantine, I’m so deep in political theory, compost the rich my dears

[@shelbypowell9919]

A rich corpse makes for a very generous tree.

[@cheeze6850]
